Well wipe my ass backwards and call me biscuit; I have been informed today.

Apologies, I should have added the sarcasm tag. /gen

Case in point is that Amazon will try everything for profit except not be cunts

So awesome to read a happy story!

The biggest thing about Linux, and the main hurdle for most users, is trial and error with different OSes.

It’s as personal as clothing taste; from size to material and color. What will fit on your body, what materials you can tolerate and what you like style wise are akin to what kernel you pick, your drivers and your desktop environment.

For some, a classic T-shirt and jeans work great out-of-box and some may need hypoallergenic materials and a different cut. And that’s all okay! It’s also the beauty of Unix/FOSS.

Everything, including:

  • giving a shit about the customer and having them permanently own their own games, even DRM-free like GOG?

  • Not forcing online connectivity to access the library?

  • Not shoving ads and spyware into the rest of the Amazon platform?

  • Appealing ethically by paying all employees a living wage?

  • Prioritizing innovation in expanding native Linux compatibility?

🤔

Yep this is, at least so far, a “the bastards can’t crack in from the outside so they’re trying to get you to hand over your account.”

Mildly reassuring but clickbait titles gonna clickbait.

Yeah those first couple paragraphs were just “ADHD/autistic woman behaves like an ADHD/autistic woman. Time to blame her for using accommodation equipment!” (Not actually Dx’ing her, but I recognize a lot of my own patterns here).

Like for fuck’s sake let us have our small bits of sanity. Tuning out the constant hell that is everyday life is not a sin.

I can’t decide which self-directed joke to respond with here.

One can only hope they’ll have the mind/willingness to.

Yeah I can hear the slurs from here.

Imagine trying to throw a lawsuit at a rodeo for video game patent infringement

So tight it resembles a sphincter.

That’s also a fair point. The other side was always listicles and quizzes and celebrity gossip which is never high quality. Now it’s just the slop + AI.

Regurgitated articles from 4 years ago still pop up on my Apple News app (I only use the free stuff though). They can’t even make new content.
